This should help explain that better. Disclaimers, disclaimers. Just slapped that together so it’s not fancy, but you’ll get the idea. 🙂

That looks easy enough to do in a 3D app such as Cinema 4D. You would draw a spline in the shape you would want the main ball to go in. Use the align to spline tag and animate it’s position. This will get the ball moving on a predetermined path. Next Create and emitter, drop on of those spheres into the emitter so that the particles generated are now balls. Scaled to preferred size. You can attach the emitter to the sphere, but I’d suggest using the same align to spline tag. So the emitter can bank. Set your emitter speed to what you’d like and texture the elements.

That will reproduce what you see in the video. To get it to go behind people, it’s just simple use of mattes in AE. Let me know if that needs further explanation 🙂

Hey Bryant,
Feel free to post a link and any questions you may have. I’ve been a bit out of pocket as of late, but will keep an eye out for your post.

Hey Bill,
particular in AE would handle a lot of that. It has a lot of built in options and custom images as particles would help you match those exact treatments. Man that game is crazy, goes to show how tired my brain is from lack of game play, a bit overwhelming to the senses. 🙂

John,
are you limited to Motion to create this effect? Not sure what you have access to, but this is an easy one to do in a 3D app. If you have access to Cinema 4D you can find a free file on my site that should help you out Hurricane_Flags
I don’t use Motion so I can’t be much help on that front, but I figured I’d offer this up in case.

oh cool, wow I had not heard the Strata name in ages, not since it was Strata Studio Pro, I used to use that back in the day… when Infini-D was around and there were not that many options for 3d on a mac. Too cool, will have to check it out. I hope that helped 🙂

Does Strata not support alpha channels in it’s render output? If it does, that’s all you’ll need.

ahh, I like that! very interesting way to use the technique with the words. I would be interested to know if this would work with some type of spline based lines, that would open up some more options.

Very cool, thanks for following up.
